Thank you for watching everyone. We've hit 100 000 subscribers too, so this is a bit of a special episode! 🥳 What did you think, was it too long or are you one of those that like longer videos? I don't necessarily plan on releasing many such long videos in the future (so much work to edit 😬), but for this one I felt like I needed to cover a larger span of time to make the story complete...
Keep em long! ppl can pause. RUclips remember where u wher last time u left off. Especially for fans like me its perfekt :D Or short! It dont really matter to be honest =) I know the HUGE mindspace it goes in to telling a story and sometimes its just enough or you just have to go on =) Cheers / The Maxi Racer guy from sweden
I like it long as long as there is something happening 👍 this one was great thanks
🎉👍🍻
I like longer videos. And I can also split them. Finished my Norwegian felted shoes at least the knitting part. Where can I order Finnish wool pants that you have shown a while ago?
I like the longer videos. Thank you for sharing your adventures. You're inspiring me to do the same some day. Love from California.
09:05 "... I just recorded the VHF radio because I thought it would look more dramatic on video" Hahaha I LOVE!!! Brilliant!
0K back to the video.
Very nice as usual, thank you!
It was 😅
The most cruising thing I heard in a bit.
"It leaks less then the last one, we'll call it a win" . Love it.
yeah... :D
Congrates getting to 100K subscribers
I love the long ones. It is like reading an complete article, and not just the headlines. Best wishes from Germany.
Kiitos!
Tack!
Thanks! We enjoy your videos! Safe travels!
Hi Juho, thanks for letting us be part of your journey! For me, this video was not too long at all!
About your Centerboard: we had a Maracuja 39 some time ago, which was the smaller sibling of your Alumi. For quite a while, Garcia made the centerboards, that they have play sideways. Under side pressure they set on the sides with a slight angle. The idea was to give it a better upwind performance. Maybe you noticed, that the bushing in the centerboard was not cylindric, then it was definitely made on purpose like that. Also, the centerboard is not totally unweighted, it has some lead inside at the back side, to keep it in down.
It's floating in nearly perfect sailing position under water (I installed our centerboard after a repair while the boat was in the water).
We learned, that It was most comfortable to sail with the centerboard partly up when going abeam and completely up, when sailing on a broad reach or downwind. The boat movements were also better with the boards up and the chance that you broach, is nearly zero without centerboard.
We newer locked the centerboard down, it stayed in position by itself and it would be able to pivot, if we hit something with the boat. For the same reason, we kept the small daggerboard behind the skeg mostly up, or at least higher than the skeg. As hitting something serious with the daggerboard down could possibly break the daggerboard box, which is most likely weaker then the daggerboard itself. We completely lowered the daggerboard only when needed for upwind sailing.
Congratulations to your boat, I am sure, you will going to love it. We were very happy with ours. Sailing performance was very good except for upwind, but that's what you pay for a boat, with an inboard ballast (and 1m draft).
All the best, enjoy life and stay safe. Rolf
Hi Rolf, I made a comment about the aft daggerboard in another video about a construction error in a few (the first?) mid-80 years' Maracuja and Nouanni. I've read, and was also told by an owner, that a Maracuja sank within minutes after the daggerboard box welds failed after hitting something with the aft daggerboard, and that Garcia contacted the owners to warn them and recommended a specific reinforcement. Do you happen to know anything more about that?
thanks @rolf6734 and @fredflintstone8664 , it's a late reply but I've noticed your comments! We use the centerboard much the same way as you. we're aware of the daggerboard box issue and I have seen photos of the destroyed daggerboard box. Ours is partly reinforced and might need to check into reinforcing it more, not completely sure. I'm trying to ask Garcia for more specifics, usually they get back with a reply but it might take a month or two (or three...)
Danke!
During my bout with Covid I binge watched Alluring Arctic Sailing for 3 weeks! I’m catching up with 4 year old episodes. Old Man loves your adventures. Stay sailing❤
Díky!
Really appreciate you taking me on my first journey over the Columbia bar. A Oregonian born and raised, always hearing of vessels in distress on Columbia bar ,really have admiration for those taking the challenge. Enjoy the scenic and calm of the strait Juan de Fuca Until next time calm winds.
Thanks!
Great video. Yes, there is one thing that gets you safely over the bar………… patience! Love the channel. Your boat and your personalities. Keep it up. And, you deserve a bigger audience.
I am sure you just want to sail but I really enjoy your refit/boat work videos! I learn loads
Takk!
Beautiful Music and Fantastic News. Thanks to Lumi , Crew and Supporters..☝️❤️🌍🇿🇦
Keep going. There’s nothing worse then a video without an ending to the segment your doing. Good job I’m enjoying the cruise
It’s never too long, loved it, filming and talk exceptional . Boat is looking great. Bring on the next one.
I’ve been subbed for a couple years. I don’t follow extremely closely, but enough to know the channel’s general arc, and I love love love it.
The couple is mindblowingly informed and are able to present in a comprehensive and entertaining manner.
The knowledge and information is gargantuan.
Just wow
I am so happy to see another video from you!!! Wishing you all the best from France!
You have a very unique channel, never stop!!!
I really like to watch these excursions as well as the remarkable cool of the skipper.
Edited & presented in a very appealing manner. Congratulations.
great video ,I spent 20 years sailing georgia straight out of vancouver BC ,you will love it , killer whales ,strong tides further north and beautiful wilderness sailing ,lots of logs in the water from log booms being towed . Reality sailing channels are the best , I look foreward to your future adventures .
Really appreciate the longer videos, a chance to get more immersed in the story being told, thank you
Your confession regarding using the Internet versus VHF for Wx reports brought me a chuckle. Thank you and happy sailing!
LOL the honest truth moment about the VHF Bar report cracked me up. Love the content, looking forward to more.
I am impressed you figured out the centerboard solution and the leaky shaft drive solution, installed the Raymarine autopilot and replaced the windows quickly. Excellent boatsmithing. Congratulations.
A brick of a vessel and I am amazed at what you accomplished in such a short period of time to get her seaworthy. This was a terrific catch-up and the moon light shots were very special. Looking forward to more adventures.
You guys are in for some beautiful scenery, I'm in the comox valley and used to sail in desolation sound. Dont mind the rain and enjoy the inside passage.
Desolation Sound, hottest ocean water north of Baja California... home of Refuge Cove :)
Good to see you back on the water. Beautiful shots, thanks for sharing your adventures with us land lovers.
Congratulations on 100K subscribers! It's great to see your new boat out sailing since the refit and all the hard work you both put into it. Safe travels and happy sailing for 2023!!
Thanks!
CONGRATULATIONS ON 1000,000 SUBSCRIBERS!!!!
YOU REALLY DESERVE IT GUYS✌🏼💗😊⛵
Hi Donna. Inflation is high at the moment, but a million isn't the new 100,000 yet! 🙂 You've got an extra zero in your number there. hehe.
Thanks!
the both of you did one hell of a job on that boat compared to when you first stepped aboard her. looks like it was worth the time spent. stay safe you two.
Fantastic video. Great work fixing the keel. Despite the problems I think she will be a great boat.
Im impressed with you both, as many sailors head towards warmer waters, you all are heading north to cold northwest. Safe travels.
Thanx, great footage, Rene
Great episode. Very challenging piece of water. Well done guys . Welcome to Canada 🍁
You are a brilliant, often quite humorous narrator and I love watching all your videos whether you are working on the boat or sailing.
Your the most original and authentic producers in your content, also fearless. Enjoy you both and hope to be able to contribute to the cause soon, love...
Bedankt
II found this episode to be extremely enjoyable. You have been through the fire together,. and the filthy beast cleaned up well l(with a huge effort) and turned out to be very good investment. . And now we get to participate vicariously through your videos. What a treat.
I love you guys and look out for your videos more than any other channel. It's great to see you headed north, anticipating the next leg. Cheers from Bristol. Keep warm.
Congratulations Juho and Sohvi for 100k+ subscribers. It has been a long road from your start but you did it by sharing beautiful videography and telling a unique story relative to the other sailing cruisers on RUclips. Another great video. Lumi looks amazing out on the water and I enjoyed this segment of her journey. Thanks for sharing!
This was a wonderful episode. Congratulations on 100K and kudos for you both being so competent and adventuresome.
I did enjoy the rehab of this boat, but this is what really makes that work worthwhile. Watching it glide through the sea and giving you guys the enjoyment of the journey. I have mainly sailed in lakes that are landlocked. But I have had 3 vacations when we actually went out away from land and absolutely loved the sailing. Looking forward to more great sails at times that others deem not worthy to do so.
Really enjoyable series to watch! Makes me dream of sailing beyond local beautiful archipelago (Saaristomeri) some day.
kiitos! :)
Being resourceful, Common sense, being practical, and safety seem to be at the forefront with this guy
Thanks
We really love your channel and the videos you take time to make so we can share your journeys with us. Thankyou So much. All the best for 2023. Keep warm and well fed. Stay safe. Take care xxxx congratulations on 100,000 subscribers
Nothing beats being taken along REAL sailing! Nothing Mambi-Pambi or pretentious. Love the video
Glad you had a safe trip and many important chores/repairs completed or at least , "a job well begun is a job half done."
Sweetest boat and crew on the seas to adventure to new places! Thanks for your sharing! I have read books of early Northwest passage crews and much history! Cannot wait to travel West to East on this part of the planet! God speed!
While in the USN, my ship was stationed in Portland. I've been over that bar about 40+ times... Sometimes the swells were over 35ft; very rough. No matter what the weather was doing, we always had a pilot with us... Good luck !
Thanks a lot for a very good and interesting video. Your channel is absolutely one of the best sailing channels right now. Waiting for the next one and hope you will not have any problems with the centerboard. All the best to both of you from Greece.
I knew exactly where you were by the title of this video. Its nice to see another sailing channel passing through. The Colombia River is such an important part of WA and OR. Not just because of shipping but also fishing and power. There are several dams that produce a lot of power for the region. I know you are making your way North but do take the time to enjoy the beauty of the islands here. There are a lot of hidden gems all along the inside passage. Looking forward to seeing your discoveries along this beautiful cruising ground. I would like to see more of it my self and one day I will.
Congratulations on the 100,000, You are a Great and hard working knowledgeable couple, We Love Your Videos!, Best Regards!
your videos are never too long, i love alluring Arctic.
Hi from France and good luck
Excellent storytelling and wonderful photography. Love this channel! All the best for 2023 and hope you enjoy scenic Salish Sea travels.
One of my favorite sailing channels ! I’ve been watching since you guys left Norway for Iceland. Congratulations on the 100,000 subs 🎉
You can see that you enjoyed editing this film, it’s beautiful to watch! All the best!
I must say your an amazing mechanic.....it seems you can handle any issue that may arise with the boat .....the boat looks great BTW
I have only Crossed the Columbia River Bar once, my first trip frommy home port of Crescent City, commercial fishing, where I went into another port. It is a wonderful experience when conditions are good.
This is a very good example of sensible seamanship.
Back to sea and what I think is your happy place, especially when it is taking you to the mountains and some skiing. I used to do both, but never have I been lucky enough to ski from the yacht. Happy times to you both and the longer the better. Bon voyage from England.
Awesome you two. Keep it up
This was such a delightful episode. Enjoyed your observations, even on the smaller details. Being a Dane, where temperatures are more moderate, I'm facinated by you 'crazy Finns' and your perfect acclimation to frost and ice 🙂. You are the living proof that if there is a will, there's a way!
Congratulations on 100k subscribers.
What are your plans for the rigging? What do you need to do with the genoa? Are you going to get/make a lazyjack?
I like you guys. 100k subs can't be wrong. Episode length was perfect for me. Thank you for sharing with us 👍
Thanks for sharing your progress north.
Take care, all the best, and God bless.
✝️🇺🇸🌊⛴🌊⚓️
Great episode. Good length. Interesting material, and your sense of humour always a bonus. 🙂 Cheers
Native Oregonian, who lives in the southern coastal mountains! Our waters can be wild and very angry, welcome to the PNW.
Long time subscriber and have been loving the journey. A little dramatics is acceptable. Thanks for sharing with us.
Great video. You are on the way to 200k subscriptions. Love high latitude sailing. Your content is so different that all the warm weather warriors.
Congrats on 100k. Being under sail with no other boats in sight really enhances that sense of oneness with nature and detachment from the cares of this world.
Sailing over here on the coast of Maine pretty much shuts down this time of year like the Northwest. Thanks for letting us share your adventure.
Brilliant episode once again
Well done! I've watched a lot of youtube sailing channels over the years and yours have become my favorite. Thanks till next time.
Take as long as you like! Great video thanks 😊
You have a natural aptitude for film making. Its as good as and better than some "professionally" produced documentaries. Well done.
Lets gooo ! I have no doubt that it will be another great video! Greetings from landlocked Austria :)
thanks, grab a sandwich and enjoy! :)
@@AlluringArctic hahah yo thanks :) Im already equipped in that sense :D
The footage that you've captured in the last couple of videos has been excellent. Nice work and thanks!
Only the Finns would be crazy enough to sail north along the Northwest USA coast in December! Nice video. Well done.
26:38, I was at the lookout point in 2015. Thankyou very much or showing this to us. Kind regards, and greetings from Africa.
So exiting to see you sailing the new boat!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
I like the mix of sailing and boat work, and also the Finish calm way to solve your issues!
I wish you all the best on your trip to the north!
It DID look more dramatic on video! 😂 and not too long! Perfect I would say. Your videos are a mood, better to get into if a bit longer!
Thanks! Hopefully every bit helps.
Congratulations on the 100! Best wishes and really enjoy the channel. Looking forward to the skiing and boating adventures.
It's good to see you under way again and personally I think videos 25 to 30 minutes long are perfect.
Great episode! And congrats on hitting the 100k mark!
U2 are living the dream. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your adventure. Your videos are NEVER too long. Can’t wait for more!
i love high latitudes, great video.
Thank you for these past two videos. I equally enjoy the refit/work and the sailing vids. I especially like how you focus on both the simple things and the complicated issues, and explain in detail the how and why . So many channels just show the fun stuff. I enjoy seeing your crew sleeping, playing cards, preparing food etc. It gives us landlocked dreamers a real sense of your journey. I have lived in Portland my entire life and have sailed in the Columbia river basin at Portland. It is over a mile wide there, and there are thousands of sailboats that spend their whole lives there and never see salt. Fortunately, I had occasions to crew on race boats down the river, over the bar and up to Vancouver BC. I've been across the bar at mis-judged times on a 28 ft blue water boat and was truly in fear for my life. At the top of the inside passage is the town of Skagway. Lovely historic gold rush down. If you go there, I have a good friend that has a beautiful off grid Homestead 7 miles out of town. I know he would be happy to meet you and show you around. He could take you to his favorite close up grizzly bear spots! Safe journey.
My Image of you Guys is Totally Shattered watching you eat those Nitrate Popsicles on a bun. At least the buns were Organic ! 😂😂😂
I was expecting more excitement crossing the Bar ,, you actually got it about as calm as it gets that time of year. In Summer and July/August its pretty calm at Slack Tides. Well everything is looking good and you are off an running. I saw your Type 2 Linear Drive and laughed at the mount. I actually need a new one myself if you come across one or if Raymarine sends you a new one.
Hey also if you need ANYTHING parts related while you are in that area ,, call my friend Bernie who owns Canadian Marine Parts in Vancouver and Burnaby areas and tell him Chris said you can have anything you need at dealer cost. And i'm serious,,, ANYTHING you need. They sell everything that exists and are part of the Mercury Marine conglomerate and Land n Sea Cartel.
Fair Winds Friends !!!
You have a phantastic boat. She will bring you anywhere. Thanks for your great videos.
Greetings from Germany.
this is a production boat right, can´t the builder advice on how to fix the center board? Great video!
